Russian Music Site Offering Legal Songs By The MB 614
An anonymous reader writes "The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting on a Russian Music site that is offering legal digital music by the MB. The site apparently has a license from the Russian Music authorities to legally distribute songs for a fraction of the price of what is being offered by iTunes and others. The report from SMH is here. Amazingly, the site offers files in any format and encoding you choose and rips it on the fly. Notifications by email follow when the songs are ready for download. Sounds a little to good to be true :)"

Record Company Pays YOU (Score:5, Funny)
Better yet, the record company should pay YOU (yes, in Soviet Russia, etc. etc.) to listen.
Example:
You download the latest hit from Britney Spears. (I'll repeat: "you download", not me.)
About halfway through the song, there's an ad for Pepsi
Pepsi pays you a nickel (or whatever) for actually listening to the damned thing.
